Google and Invision Community

Featured Replies

Has anyone else noticed that IPS improves stuff according to what Google wants to see (code-wise).....

IPS makes the changes...

wait a few months..... Google decides it doesn't like something else ... maybe because IPS sites start showing up in search results?

Then Google sends a "warning" about some obscure IPS feature or lack thereof....

Google rankings suffer....

Rinse...

Lather...

Repeat....

 

Or is it just me? 

Google basically dictates the whole internet standard with threats that your ranking will drop off you don't comply.

So everybody complies, ips as well as everybody else.

Yes, Google waits until Invision Community installations get indexed and then immediately changes its algorithm just to spite us.

That's only because google can't handle us.

i can handle that season 2 GIF by Twin Peaks on Showtime

Welcome to life at IPS.

Wow.  lol.  I opened this topic expecting something else.  Worth a chuckle and to see that the IPB staff also has a sense of humor :-p.

LOL..... Evidently it was just me.

Thanks for the education guys.... I needed that.

A little perspective never hurts

Some years ago, before it went to cloud, I htaccess banned google IPs. I only allowed them again because a few members complained that their stuff wasn't showing up in search results. I checked for myself, and it was true. I myself would have left it banned, but I reinstated google. Did it for my members.
